What catering options are available and can we bring our own food or external caterers?

What facilities are included with the Members' Room hire?

The Members' Room includes exclusive use of a private bar, access to a charming private terrace, magnificent interior with arches and abundant natural light through windows. The space connects to a professional kitchen for catering service.

What are the typical operating hours and latest finish times for wedding events?

Events typically must conclude by 16:00 with all guests departed by 16:30 for daytime celebrations. Some venues can accommodate evening events until 22:30 with de-rig by 23:00, but specific timing restrictions should be confirmed for the Members' Room.

Is there a minimum guest requirement for wedding bookings?

Yes, Lincoln's Inn requires minimum numbers of 30 guests for their meeting and event spaces. This minimum likely applies to the Members' Room as well, though the space is designed to accommodate up to 90 guests optimally.

What are the booking lead times and how far in advance should we enquire?

Based on correspondence patterns, popular dates book well in advance, particularly for November and December periods. It's advisable to enquire at least 6-12 months ahead for preferred wedding dates, especially for weekend bookings.

Are there any restrictions on entertainment, music, or decorations for wedding celebrations?

While specific restrictions aren't detailed in available information, the venue has declined certain event types that don't suit their character. The Members' Room's historic setting with magnificent arches suggests decorative restrictions may apply to preserve the architectural features.

What accessibility features are available for guests with mobility requirements?

Lincoln's Inn occupies Grade I and II listed buildings, which may present accessibility challenges. Specific accessibility arrangements for the Members' Room should be discussed directly with the venue to ensure all guests can be accommodated.

Can we arrange site visits to view the Members' Room before booking?

Yes, site visits can be arranged to view the space. The venue staff regularly offer show rounds to potential clients, allowing you to see the magnificent interior, private terrace, and assess the space for your wedding celebration needs.
